IBM blogging with Roller

I'm not sure how many of the reported 2,800 internal blogs at IBM are running Roller, but it's pretty clear that the blog in the screenshot is a Roller based blog. I've heard from multiple sources that they're running a forked version of Roller (looks to me like circa 0.9.7). It's time to upgrade to 1.0 guys and join the fun on the Roller dev-list. We'd love to see your mods.

Yep, the internal blog system (hosting those 2800+ blogs) is definitely using Roller. And yes, it's definitely an older version. The most interesting mods that have been made are mostly limited to connecting the thing into our enterprise employee directory. Also added are some statistics functions (so we can break down numbers of blogs by geographical region, etc) and a dashboard view that shows the latest posts and comments, etc.
